KEYNOTE PRESENTATION | Imagining Research/Research Imaginings
Dr. Yoke-Sum Wong, Associate Professor, School of Critical and Creative Studies, Alberta ��Ѹ�����Դ���߿�Ƭ of the Arts

This talk takes as its starting point Sociologist C Wright Mills ‘s writing on the sociological imagination. “The Sociological Imagination”, Mills writes in 1959, “enables us to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two within society”. He further adds, “That is its task and its promise.” What does this “promise” mean today – as we take on research in a world so overwhelmed by turbulent events and the tangled crises of communication? How can we broaden our methodological practices to enfold multitudes of imaginings? How can we approach imagination or the act of imagining in our research that seeks to find possibilities and potentials towards a generous and just society?
